throwback thursdays (vol. 15): fourteen (that’s f-o-u-r-t-e-e-n) whole years.

October 8th marked my fourteen year anniversary with the company I work for. Let me say that again. Fourteen (14) year anniversary. I never in a million years thought that I'd work at a place this long, much less still feel as passionate about it and challenged today as I did fourteen years ago. Let's…

throwback thursdays (vol. 14): generosity – in pictures, in blogs, in life. yep.

So, if you're an actual person reading this blog (which is more rare than you'd think, actually), you may have noticed the decided lack of TBT posts recently. Which is partly because I've been a total slacker, and partly because even in 441 posts to date, there are only so many I think are worthy…

throwback thursdays (vol. 13): in honor of the Kid

This week being the Kid's birthday, I thought I'd dredge up a post about he and I from way back. In the same spirit, today's TBT picture is from waaaaay before I started blogging, in fact before he was born. Yes, that's me. Yes, I'm pregnant. And yes, I'm in a Winnie the Pooh costume.…

throwback thursdays (vol. 12): homage to the grandparents

A little late today, but it's still Thursday so who's counting? Today's TBT post is in homage to my Grandma, who I posted about yesterday. In case you were wondering, I went to see her last night and she's doing pretty well, all things considered. The side of her face is drooping a little bit…

throwback thursdays (vol. 11): neonish

Good morning! I finally ran out of pre-scheduled TBT posts, which is why this one is a little late. It took me a while to find one that suited me for today, but I think this one will work. The picture to go with it is...well. Priceless. Hope you enjoy! Click here to go straight…

throwback thursdays (vol. 10): is it what you think it is, though?

Today's TBT post makes me giggle every time I read it. Don't worry, it's not nasty or inappropriate...though you might think so! I wrote it as part of my old creative writing group, LFB. Today's picture is not from that time period, since I have given you many from that same period of time, but is…

throwback thursdays (vol. 9): doorknockers

  Today's TBT picture has nothing to do with the post, but everything to do with how much I love my son! This picture is from when he was seven, and he's so cute I just can't stand it. Today's Throwback Thursday post is brought to you by your friendly neighborhood HMO. Indeed, I blog…

throwback thursdays (vol. 8): in remembrance

It's been a very long time since I posted anything about 9/11. This year, September 11 is actually on a Thursday, so it seems almost like fate that I link you to the last September 11 post that I did, even though I didn't originally post it on the relevant day. This is a tough day.…

throwback thursdays (vol. 7): pertaining to my starbucks addiction

Today's Throwback Thursday post will make sense to anyone that knows anything about my favorite place in the world...Starbucks. Anyone that knows me, knows the pure rage that overcomes me when (God forbid) the poor barista makes my drink wrong. I took it to a whole new level with this post, written for the blogging…

throwback thursdays (vol. 6): minnie the mouse

This is one of my favorite posts I did for LFB, a blogging group I was a part of back in my MySpaz blogging days. It's kind of sweet, kind of mildy-senior-sexy, and even makes me feel fuzzy inside. A little bit. Anyway, it's a fictional story about two high-school sweethearts that meet again at…
